Robert Brooks, Sr. (1) is the oldest proven Brooks ancestor of the authors.
According to The Brooks of Virginia by Bruce Edwards, Robert Brooks,
Sr. (1) was the son of Bruces ancestor, Richard Brooks, Jr. This book
states that Richard Brooks, Jr. made his will on October 8, 1731 and
that his will was not proven in court until July 5, 1734. This will mentions
first: to son William, one shilling and second: to his wife Mary and his
other children, Robert, Richard, Sarah and Massila, the rest of my estate.
The book does not mention the county where the will was recorded. According
to Virginia Wills and Administrations, by Clayton Torrence, the will
of a Richard Brooks was recorded in Hanover County, Virginia in 1734. The
author of this book has only made a minimal attempt to prove this connection.
This connection should considered speculative as there were many Brooks
men in Mecklenburg County, Virginia and its parent county, Lunenburg County,
Virginia that could be the father of Robert Brooks, Sr. (1).

According to The Brooks of Virginia, Richard Brooks, Jr. left no land,
therefore, it is not possible to connect any of his three sons through
any inheritance of land. William Brooks, the son of Richard Brooks, Jr.,
was stated by Edwards to have resided in Spotsylvania County, Virginia
(northwest of Hanover County) and New Kent County (southeast of Hanover
County). Only one son of William Brooks, William Wilson Brooks, was traced.
William Wilson Brooks resided in Buckingham County, Virginia (married there
around 1764) and finally to Greene County, Georgia (1820 census and 1825
deed). This Brooks line has no common migration pattern with the Robert
Brooks, Sr. (1) or any of his children. There has been no attempt to verify
the connection of William Brooks to Richard Brooks, Jr. since the migration
patterns of this family do not match that of Robert Brooks, Sr. (1).

It appears that the connection of Robert Brooks, Sr. (1) to Richard Brooks,
Jr. is based on the migration pattern of two known daughters of Richard
Brooks, III and Elizabeth Brooks: Sarah (Brooks) Gentry and Mary (Brooks)
Gentry. According to the book, Brooks of Virginia, Richard Brooks, III
first resided in Hanover County, Virginia (land grant in 1731) which became
part of Louisa County in 1742. According to Brooks of Virginia, Richard
Brooks, III, moved to the southern part of Lunenburg County, Virginia which
became part of Mecklenburg County, Virginia in 1764. This migration from
Louisa County, Virginia to what became Mecklenburg County, Virginia is
supported by migration of the daughters of Richard Brooks, Jr.: Mary Brooks
(who married Nicholas Gentry) and Sarah Brooks (who married David Gentry).
These married daughters received land in 1743 from their parents, Richard
and Elizabeth Brooks, in Louisa County, Virginia and they can be later
found in Mecklenburg County, Virginia where other men named Richard Brooks
resided.

According to The Brooks of Virginia, in 1759, Richard and Elizabeth Brooks
and Elisha and Frances Brooks, jointly sold 448 acres of land in Lunenburg
County, Virginia. This establishes that at least one of the three known
men named Richard Brooks that resided in the Lunenburg and Mecklenburg
Counties of Virginia was married a woman named Elizabeth. The 1750 list
of Tithables presents a very interesting perspective: Robert Brooks - 1
Tithe; Robert Brookes - 5 Tithes; Richd. Brooks - 1 Tithe; Wm. Brookes
- 1 Tithe; Nicholas Gentry - 1 Tithe; Richard Brookes - 3 Tithes - including
probable sons: Robt. Brooks (born 1729 to 1734) and Elisha Brooks (born
1729 to 1734); David Gentry - 2 Tithes - including probable son: Wm. Gentry
(born 1729 to 1734); Richd. Brooks, Junr. - Unknown Tithes. This establishes
that there at least three men named Richard Brooks as well as three men
named Robert Brooks residing in Lunenburg County, Virginia in 1750. The
Robert Brooks (born 1729 to 1734), probable son of Richard Brooks (implied
by Tithe List), is a good candidate for being the authors ancestor, Robert
Brooks, Sr. (1). Since Richard Brooks, Jr. died in Hanover County, Virginia
around 1734, this Richard Brooks (with sons Robert and Elisha) could not
be Richard Brooks, Jr.

BROOKS FAMILY HISTORY 7-11

This author firmly believes that Robert Brooks, Sr. (1) can not be the
son of Richard Brooks, Jr. and Mary Brooks as stated in Brooks of Virginia.
However, there is a reasonable chance that Robert Brooks, Sr. (1) could
be a son of the Richard Brooks who is found in the 1750 Tithe list with
two sons Robert Brooks and Elisha Brooks. Since two daughters of Richard
Brooks, III and Elizabeth Brooks (who married into the Gentry family) resided
near Robert Brooks, Sr. (1), Robert Brooks, Sr. (1) would more likely be
a son of Richard Brooks, III and Elizabeth Brooks. Elisha Brooks provides
the highest probability of being a sibling of Robert Brooks, Sr. (1) based
on the 1750 Tithe list that has the head as Richard Brooks and sons, Robert
and Elisha Brooks. Also, further research of Mary (Brooks) Gentry and Sarah
(Brooks) Gentry are worthy candidates of research as siblings of Robert
Brooks, Sr. (1) These women are known daughters of Richard Brooks, III
and Elizabeth Brooks and the 1750 Tithe list implies a Richard Brooks as
a possible father of Robert Brooks, Sr. (1). Other possible siblings of
Robert Brooks, Sr. (1) could be Richard Brooks, IV (David Gentry was involved
in his estate in 1755) and John Brooks (also involved in land transacations
with David Gentry).

It appears that most of the children of Robert Brooks, Sr. were born in
1760s with a few possibly born in the 1750s and 1770s. From these estimations,
it is believed that Robert Brooks, Sr. (1) was probably born in the late
1720s or early 1730s. The D. A. R. application of Ella Kelly states that
Robert was born in 1723.

Numerous Brooks families resided the Lunenburg County, Virginia between
1746 (county formation of Lunenburg) and 1765 (county formation of Mecklenburg
from Lunenburg). On February 1, 1747, a Robert Brooks bought land from
David Walker, Deed Book 1, Page 280. According to Early Settlers of Mecklenburg
County, Virginia, Robert Brooks had a land grant recorded in Patent Book
28, Page 76 on June 25, 1747. This land comprised of 630 acres on both
sides of the Meherrin River. This land was located on the boundary of
the present day counties of Lunenburg and Mecklenburg. In 1747, this land
was situated in Lunenburg County, Virginia. Also that same month, Early
Settlers of Mecklenburg County, Virginia show that Robert Brooks sold
to Nicholas Gentry 108 acres of land for twelve pounds. This land was situated
on both sides of the Meherrin River and was patented by Robert Brooks.
This deed was dated June 4, 1747 and was recorded in Deed Book 1, Page
329 on June 6, 1748. Also on June 6, 1748, Robert Brooks sold land to Richard
Brooks, Deed Book 1, Page 329.

7-12 INTERACTIVE FAMILY HISTORIES

According to Sunlight of the Southside, numerous Brooks family members
lived in early Lunenburg County, Virginia. In a 1748 tithable list taken
by Lyddal Bacon, there was a Richard Brooks and a Robert Brooks listed
in the same household which had five tithables. Next in the list was another
Richard Brooks with only one tithable (probably himself). In 1749, a Robert
Brooks was listed by himself as having five tithables. Next to him was
listed Ritchard Brooks with one tithable and nearby was another Richard
Brooks with one tithable. Another Robert Brooks was listed in the same
household as David Gentry where the household had two tithables. Also listed
near these four Brooks family members was Nickles Gentry, probably the
same who purchased 108 acres of land from Robert Brooks in 1747. The four
Brooks members were listed in a tithe list between Hounds Creek and Meherrin
taken by Hugh Lawson. A third Robert Brooks also appears in a 1749 tithable
list taken by William Howard.

The 1750 tithable lists have eight members of the Brooks family listed.
Taken by Richard Witton: Robert Brookes had five tithables, nearby Richard
Brookes had one tithable and William Brookes had one tithable. Again, Nicholas
Gentry was nearby. Also, included in Richard Wittons list was a household
which listed Richard Brooks, Robert Brooks and Elisha Brooks having three
tithables. Nearby was Richard Brookes, Jr. Yet another Robert Brooks was
on William Howards list having one tithable. The 1750 tithable lists establish
that there were three Richard Brooks, three Robert Brooks, one William
Brooks and one Elisha Brooks living in Lunenburg County, Virginia. In 1751,
seven Brooks family members were listed in in Lunenburg County, Virginia.
Taken by William Howard: Robert Brooks with one tithable (same as 1750).
Taken by Lyddall Bacon: Robert Brooks, Elisha Brooks and Richard Brooks
listed in the same household having three tithables. Taken by Field Jefferson:
Robert Brooks with one tithable. Taken by Hugh Lawson: Robert Brooks and
John Calvin are listed in the same household having six tithables, Richard
Brooks with one tithable and William Brooks with one tithable. In 1752,
five Brooks family members are listed. Taken by Lyddall Bacon: Richard
Brooks has one tithable and Robert Brooks has five tithables. Taken by
Hugh Lawson: William Brooks listed with Stephen Crump having two tithables,
Richard Brooks with two tithables and Robert Brooks, Jr. with one tithable.

In Early Wills of Lunenburg County, Virginia, contains the estate records
of Richard Brooks in the December Court of 1755, Order Book 4, Page 64.
This entry shows that Susannah Brooks was granted the administration of
the estate of Richard Brooks, deceased, her late husband, and with David
Gentry and Robert Brooks her securities, acknowledged bond. The court also
ordered that John Williams, Reps Jones, Samuel Gentry and Drury Moore,
or any three of them, appraise the slaves and personal estate of Richard
Brooks, deceased.

On October 2, 1759, Robert Brooks was involved in three land sales. Robert
Brooks bought land from Joseph Ashurst, Deed Book 5, Page 477, sold land
to Abraham Jones, Deed Book 5, Page 481 and sold land to William Roberts,
Deed Book 5, Page 491. On March 2, 1762, Robert Brooks bought land from
Frederick Jones, Deed Book 7, Page 189. On May 4, 1762, Robert Brooks sold
land to Richard Brooks, Deed Book 7, Page 230. On October 13, 1763, Robert
Brooks sold two pieces of land: one to David Hopkins, Deed Book 9, Page
268 and one to Artha Brooks, Deed Book 9, Page 270. On November 10, 1763,
Robert, Lucretia, Tabitha and Richard Brooks sold land to Tscharner Degraffenreidt.
Robert Brooks was of Halifax County, Virginia (formed in 1752 from Lunenburg
County). On July 12, 1764, Robert Brooks sold land to Anthony Street, Deed
Book 8, Page 197. In 1764, there are only three Brooks family members found
in tithable lists. Taken by Thomas Tabb: Robert Brooks owning 400 acres
and Arther Brooks owning 100 acres. Taken by Edmund Taylor: Robert Brooks
having four tithables and 500 acres. In 1765, Mecklenburg County was formed
from Lunenburg County and it appears that most the Brooks related to the
authors lived in what became Mecklenburg County.

BROOKS FAMILY HISTORY 7-13

There were many Brooks family members living in Mecklenburg County, Virginia
between 1765 and 1800. Some of the Brooks family members involved in land
transactions were: Dudley Brooks of Chesterfield County: 1774, 1789 (2),
1790; Thomas Brooks: 1765 (2), 1767, 1780; John Brooks of Lunenburg County:
1774; David Brooks: 1772, 1783; Elisha Brooks: 1765 (2). A partial survey
of the Personal Property Tax Lists show: Dudley Brooks: 1782, 1783, 1787,
1789; Richard Brooks: 1782; David Brooks: 1782, 1783; Dudley Brooks, Jr.
(son of Dudley Brooks, Sr.): 1782, 1787. On a deed dated November 15, 1766,
a Robert Brooks sold land to William Black of Prince George County on the
north side of the Roanoke River opposite land of William Black on the south
side. This land was for a public ferry landing and the deed was recorded
on February 10, 1767. In June of 1768, a Robert Brooks sold 200 acres to
William Murphe for 40 pounds. This land was situated in Mecklenburg County
on the Roanoke River and Parham Creek.

It is certain that the Robert Brooks found in the Personal Property Tax
Lists of Mecklenburg County between 1782 and 1805 are that of the Robert
Brooks who is an ancestor of the authors. The slaves listed in the household
make it easy to distinguish him from other men named Robert Brooks that
were living in the area. Only in 1783 and 1785 does Roberts son, Robert
Rose Brooks appear in these lists. So the other Robert Brooks that lived
early Lunenburg County either moved out of the area or lived in a different
area from that which became Mecklenburg County in 1765. After the death
of Robert Brooks, Sr., his widow, Abigail, was listed in the Personal Property
Tax Lists in 1807, 1809, 1810, 1811 and 1812. In the federal census taken
in Virginia in 1782, Robert Brooks is enumerated Lewis Parhams list in
a household having seven whites and seventeen blacks. Listed nearby was
William Brooks having six whites and two blacks. David Brooks is also listed
in Mecklenburg County with four whites.

On May 26, 1782, Daniel Baugh sold Robert Brooks 375 acres for 25,000 pounds
of tobacco. This was Roberts son-in-law selling his land to his father-in-law.
On February 28, 1786, Hicks and Nancy Ellis sold to Robert Brooks 175 acres
for 8,000 pounds of tobacco. On October 9, 1789, Robert Rose Brooks and
wife Mary of Brunswick County sold 115 acres on Great Creek to Robert Brooks.
This probably is Roberts son selling his land to his father. On March
5, 1790, Robert and Abigail Brooks sold 100 acres of land to James Lambert
for 40 pounds. On March 18, 1794, Robert and Abigail Brooks gave Frederick
Jones 150 acres on Great Creek. Also on March 18, 1794, Robert and Abigail
Brooks gave 150 acres to David Thomas Wynn on Great Creek. This was probably
Roberts son-in-law, David Thomas. On December 20, 1797, Robert Brooks
gave 283 acres to John and Elizabeth Epps.

7-14 INTERACTIVE FAMILY HISTORIES

Robert Brooks first married a woman whose first name was Brambly. On a
deed dated May 18, 1779, Robert Brooks and Brambly Brooks, his wife, of
Mecklenburg County sold 100 acres on the lower side of Little Creek (a
branch of Poplar Creek) to Thomas Harrison of Brunswick County for 100
pounds. This deed was recorded on November 22, 1779 in Book 13, Page 408
in the Brunswick County deed book. At that time, there was only one Robert
Brooks living in Mecklenburg County. Brambly Brooks apparently died in
the 1780s. Robert Brooks married a second time to woman whose first name
was Abigail. In 1790, Robert and Abigail Brooks gave two tracts of land
to Roberts son-in-laws. Abigail is listed as Roberts wife in his will
signed in 1804. The 1782 census shows Abigail Ellis living near Robert
Brooks. This is the same Abigail Ellis who was made administrator of the
estate of James Ellis, very likely Abigails late husband. Because of the
estimated birthdates of Roberts children, it very unlikely that Abigail
was the mother of any of Roberts children and Brambly was probably the
mother of all of Roberts children.

The will of Robert Brooks, Sr. lists only nine of his children. The 1783
Personal Property Tax List indicate that Robert had at least two more sons:
Robert Brooks and Jordan Brooks. Both were listed in the same household
with Robert Brooks, Sr. In 1780, Robert Brooks, Sr. gave consent for his
son, Robert Rose Brooks, to marry Mary Parham. Both Robert Rose Brooks
and Jordan Brooks migrated to Edgefield County, South Carolina and later
to Georgia. Many of their sisters and nephews followed in the same migration
pattern. Daniel and Lucy Baugh witnessed many of Jordans deeds and Jordan
also signed the marriage bond for his sister, Penelope. The reason that
Robert and Jordan were omitted from their fathers may never be discovered.
It was probably because they were the first to move away from Virginia
to Edgefield County, South Carolina. Lucy (Brooks) Baugh moved much earlier
to Edgefield County and while others received one-eighth share, she only
received the token amount of $2.00. Robert Brooks, Sr. gave his son-in-law,
Daniel Baugh, 25,000 pounds of tobacco for 375 acres of land only two years
after Daniel married Roberts daughter, Lucy. This sizable amount of tobacco
could have been considered Lucys share of Robert Brooks estate and Robert
could have felt that she had already received her fair share.

It is almost certain that Robert Brooks, Sr. was patriot during the Revolutionary
War. On May 14, 1782, Robert Brooks gave for Continental Use 675 cwt
of Beef, 56 diets and 34 diets. Robert Brooks also signed Legislative Petition
Number 392, Mecklenburg County, Virginia, dated May 14, 1777. This document
states: Wherefore, your Petitioners pray that all natives of Great Britain,
who have not uniformly shown their friendly disposition to the American
cause, may be compelled to leave the State, and that some more severe punishment
may be inflicted upon those who depreciate the paper currency of the United
States, and this Commonwealth, upon credit of which depends the support
of the American War. The D. A. R. application of Ella Kelly states that
Robert Brooks, Sr. served in Revolutionary War as a private in Captain
Thomas Hills company, 7th Virginia Regiment, commanded by Colonel Alexander
McClenachan. The date of his enlistment is not known. His name first borne
on the Companys muster covering the period from December 22, 1776 to May,
1777 which shows him left sick in Virginia. Discharged January 31, 1778.
The author has not attempted to verify this account.

BROOKS FAMILY HISTORY 7-15

Through Roberts will and personal property tax lists, it was believed
that Robert and Brambly Brooks were the parents of at least eleven children:

Robert Brooks, Sr. signed his will on May 11, 1804 and was also listed
in the 1805 personal property tax list. In 1806, the estate of Robert Brooks
was listed in the personal property tax list and his will was recorded
on June 9, 1806. It is most likely that Robert Brooks, Sr. died in the
early part of 1806. Abigail Brooks is listed in the personal property tax
lists from 1807 to at least 1812. In 1819, Winifred (Brooks) Butler gave
power of attorney to her brother-in-law to sell a slave which was due to
her at the death of my stepmother, Abigail Brooks. Abigail probably died
sometime in 1818.

LUCY BROOKS (1.1) is the daughter of Robert Brooks, Sr. and Brambly Brooks.
According to Ella Kelley, Lucy was born in 1753. Since Lucy married in
1780 and was listed in the 1800 census as being over 45 years of age, this
date is a reasonable estimate. On October 10, 1780, Lucy Brooks married
Daniel Baugh in Mecklenburg County, Virginia and John Eppes signed the
surety bond. According to Ella Kelley, Daniel was born in 1745 in Dinwiddie
County, Virginia. According to Roberta Lumpkin, Daniel was the son of James
Baugh, III and Martha Baugh, his second wife.

Lucy Brooks was Daniel Baughs second wife. It appears that Daniel Baugh
was previously married to a daughter of Bolling Clark. Bolling Clark died
in 1809 in Dinwiddie County, Virginia leaving a will. Bollings daughter,
Daniels first wife, obviously died prior to 1780 when Daniel married Lucy
Brooks. When Bolling Clark wrote his will in February of 1809, he mentions
several of Daniels children, their spouses and some of Daniels grandchildren:
Mary Burnett who married Toliver Burnett and they had one son, Bolling
C. Burnett, Elizabeth North who married Abram North and they had one son
Bolling C. North, John Baugh, James Baugh, Susanna Beasley and Nancy Hogh.
Bolling Clark left a sizable estate and these grandchildren received several
slaves each.

When Daniel Baughs will was written in 1812, it appears that he left his
first wifes children mostly $2.00 each. John Baugh was left $200.00 and
Nancy Hog was left $100.00. All other children, we assume children of Lucy
Brooks, were left slaves and land. The exception was Daniel Baugh, Jr.
who was left only $2.00 (Daniel Baugh was not mentioned in Bolling Clarks
will). Daniel Baughs may have listed his children in order of birth as
all of his children by his first wife were listed first followed by his
children by Lucy Brooks. Estimation of the birthdates of Daniels children
tend to confirm that the order of the children in the will may have been
the order of birth. Again Daniel Baugh, Jr. is listed with Daniel Baughs
first wifes children. Therefore, it is not certain who was the mother
of Daniel Baugh, Jr. but it is believed that he is the son of Lucy (Brooks)
Baugh.

Other descendants of Daniel Baugh give different accounts of Daniel Baughs
first wife. According to Sallie W. Mathews, Sallie Baugh was the daughter
of Daniel Baugh and Mary White. Another descendant, Fannie (Woodall) Miller
stated that Sallies father was Daniel Baugh of Putnam County whose wife
was Ann. The author has found no documentation to support these family
traditions. In fact, it is almost certain that Daniel first married a daughter
of Bolling Clark and that Sallie Baugh was a daughter of Daniel Baugh and
Lucy Brooks.

Daniel Baugh gave 350 pounds of beef to the American Army during the revolution
which should qualify descendants for D. A. R. or S. A. R. memberships.
On September 5, 1781, Daniel gave this beef while residing in Mecklenburg
County, Virginia. It also appears that Daniels father, James Baugh also
gave 600 pounds of beef to the American Army.

The earliest known documentation of Daniel Baugh is dated October 12, 1778
in which Daniel Baugh, James Baugh and John Smith were ordered by the court
of Mecklenburg County, Virginia to appraise the estate of James Ellis,
deceased. James widow, Abigail, later married Lucys father, Robert Brooks.
In 1782 and 1783, Daniel Baugh was listed in the Mecklenburg County, Virginia
personal property tax lists. On May 26, 1782, Daniel Baugh of Mecklenburg
County, Virginia sold 375 acres of land to his father-in-law, Robert Brooks
of Mecklenburg County, Virginia which was bounded by the Brooks line, James
Hix, long branch and Ellis. Daniels brother-in-law, Robert Rose Brooks,
witnessed the deed. Daniel was enumerated in the Virginia census that was
taken between 1782 and 1785. Daniels family consisted of seven people
at that time.

BROOKS FAMILY HISTORY 7-17

On June 23, 1794, James Harrison, assignee of Daniel Baugh, sued several
men in Brunswick County, Virginia. Among these men being sued, was what
could bave been Daniels father-in-law, Robert Brooks. The nature of the
suit is not known, but none of the defendants answered their summons and
small judgements were issued against them. When Robert Brooks wrote his
will several years later, he left Lucy, his daughter (Daniel Baughs wife),
only $2.00 while all other children were left sizable amounts of property.

On May 28, 1798, Daniel and Lucy Baugh witnessed a deed in Edgefield County,
South Carolina where Lucys brother, Jordan Brooks, sold 200 acres of land
to William Terry. On April 10, 1799, Daniel Baugh witnessed another deed
in Edgefield County, South Carolina where Roger Smith sold 72 acres of
land to Jordan Brooks. In the October of 1799, Daniel Baugh, Jordan Brooks,
Daniel Bird and William Tury were ordered to appraise the estate of William
Moore, deceased. Baugh, Brooks and Bird made the inventory and returned
it to Edgefield County, South Carolina court on January 7, 1800. Daniel
Baugh is enumerated in the 1800 census of Edgefield County, South Carolina.
Daniel Baugh (born prior to 1755) is listed with what appears to be his
wife (born prior to 1755), two sons and one daughter (born 1774 to 1784),
two sons (born 1784 to 1790) and one son and one daughter (born 1790 to
1800).

Daniel Baugh must have been a devoted Methodist. On Friday, October 30,
1801, Francis Asbury stated in his journal: We came in haste to Daniel
Baughs: here we met Bishop Whatcoat, Sylvester Hutchinson, who had come
along rapidly. At the meeting house, where we spent about three hours,
we were joined by Stith Mead, John Garven and Lewis Mycrel. Now we formed
a plan for future labours and travel: it was concluded that Bishop Whatcoat
should go from the centre, east to Savannah and St. Marys; whilst I go
west, in Georgia.

On January 11, 1809, Daniel Baugh of Edgefield District, South Carolina
purchased 202 acres for $1,200.00 from Isham and Gracy Smith. This land
was situated in Putnam County, Georgia. This deed was witnessed by Isham
Brooks, nephew of Lucy (Brooks) Baugh and brother-in-law of Frances (Baugh)
Brooks, Lucy (Brooks) Baughs daughter. On November 6, 1811, Daniel Baugh
sold 160 acres of this land for $1,200.00 to his son-in-law, Daniel White.
This land was located Putnam County, Georgia. Daniels son-in-law, Robert
Brooks and his son, William Baugh witnessed the deed.

Daniel Baugh and his first wife, daughter of Bolling Clark, were the parents
of at least six children: - Mary Baugh, - James Baugh, - Elizabeth Baugh, -
Susannah Baugh, - John Baugh, - Nancy Baugh. Daniel Baugh and Lucy (Brooks)
Baugh were the parents of at least six children:

According to Leonard McCown, Mary Baugh married Taliaferro Burnett and
they had four children. Mary (Baugh) Burnett died on March 29, 1856 in
Williamson County, Tennessee and was buried there. According to Leonard
McCown, James Baugh married Margaret Smith in Mecklenburg County, Virginia
on December 3, 1800 and they had five children. According to the will of
Bolling Clark, Elizabeth Baugh married Abram North before 1809 and they
had six children. According to Joseph J. Baugh, Susannah Baugh married
Barnet Beasley on September 29, 1790 in Brunswick County, Virginia. Barnet
and Susannah Beasley had nine chidren. Susannah (Baugh) Beasley died between
1840 and 1850 in either Hickman or Williamson County, Tennessee and was
buried there. According to Roberta Lumpkin, John Baugh married a Miss Bird.
According to Joseph J. Baugh, Nancy Baugh married a Joseph Hough and that
they were reported to have moved to Darlington County, South Carolina.
According to Roberta Lumpkin, Nancy Baugh married a second time to John
Evans on January 28, 1817.

The estate records of Daniel Baugh state that Martha Baugh married Daniel
White. On December 31, 1811, Frances Baugh married her first cousin, Robert
Brooks in Putnam County, Georgia. Robert Brooks is the son of Jordan Brooks,
Lucys brother. For additional information on the descendants of Robert
and Frances Brooks, see the sketch of Robert Brooks (2.4).

Lucy (Brooks) Baugh died between 1804 and 1812 as she was included in her
fathers will signed in 1804 and was not included in her husbands will
signed 1812. Daniel Baughs will was written on March 16, 1812 and was
proven in court on December 10, 1816 indicating that Daniel Baugh died
in 1816. According to Leonard McCown, Daniel Baugh was buried in the Concord
Methodist Church Cemetery in Putnam County, Georgia.

Daniel and Susannah Baugh lived near Baughville, Georgia. After Daniel
Baugh, II died at an early age, Susannah (Bird) Baugh and her family moved
to Talbot County, Georgia. Susannah (Bird) Baugh later moved to Lee County,
Alabama and died there. According to Joseph J. Baugh, James Baugh married
Nancy Woodall in Talbot County, Georgia. Marriage records indicate that
James Baugh married Nancy Robinson in Putnam County, Georgia on December
15, 1831. According to Joseph J. Baugh, Martha Baugh married a Mr. White
and they moved to Lee County, Alabama. Marriage records indicate that Martha
Baugh married John B. Ingram in Putnam County, Georgia on April 3, 1827.

LUCY ANN BAUGH (1.1.1.2) is the daughter of Daniel Baugh, Jr. and Susan
(Bird) Baugh. Lucy was born on July 5, 1805 in South Carolina. On April
29, 1821, Lucy Baugh married Nathan Bussey in Putnam County, Georgia. Nathan
was born on February 5, 1798 in Lincoln County, Georgia and is the son
of David Bussey and Eleanor (Fleming) Bussey. Nathans sister, Margaret
Bussey, married Peter Baugh (1.1.5). In 1830, Nathan and Lucy Bussey were
living in Putnam County, Georgia. In 1860, Nathan and Lucy Bussey were
living in Talbot County, Georgia. Nathan and Lucy Bussey were the parents
of at least eight children:

Lucy (Baugh) Bussey died in 1860 in Talbot County, Georgia and was buried
